Prohibits state contracts for the purchase of electric vehicles unless the manufacturer certifies that the vehicles were produced without forced or child labor

HB 2691 requires Missouri state agencies and local governments to obtain a sworn certification from electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers before purchasing EVs or components. This certification must confirm no forced labor or oppressive child labor was used in any stage of production, including material sourcing. The bill imposes penalties: manufacturers face $10,000 per false statement or half the contract value, while government entities and employees violating the requirement pay similar fines. It directly affects all Missouri public entities buying EVs and the manufacturers supplying them, mandating ethical supply chain verification as a condition of state contracts.
